外籍劳工主要来自哪些国家？ (截至2025年6月30日 - 自由今日大马（Free Malaysia Today,FMT) Which countries do Migrant workers come from?(As of 30 June 2025 — Free Malaysia Today)

根据《自由今日大马》(Free Malaysia Today, FMT) 的数据（截至2025年6月30日），外籍劳工的来源国及人数分布高度集中：

前三大来源国——孟加拉、印尼和尼泊尔的劳工人数占总数的约 78%。

其中，孟加拉是人数最多的来源国，占总人数约 37.5%。

这一数据表明，马来西亚的外籍劳工主要集中在少数几个国家，他们在本地劳动力市场中扮演着重要角色，尤其是在体力劳动密集型行业。

According to data from Free Malaysia Today (as of June 30, 2025), the distribution of migrant workers by country of origin is highly concentrated:

• The top three source countries—Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal—account for about 78% of all migrant workers in Malaysia.

• Among them, Bangladesh is the largest source, making up around 37.5% of the total.

This indicates that Malaysia’s migrant labour force is dominated by workers from a few key countries, especially in sectors that rely heavily on manual labour.
